Yes, this is me. A (Dear God, shall I say it?) NICKELBACK FAN! A card carrying, paid member of the Nickelback Fan Club, proud owner of all label released Nickelback CD’s and DVD’s and many, many bootlegs. A dyed-in-the-wool, multiple concert going – NICKELBACK FAN.

I am also, not as proud to proclaim, a long time subscriber to Entertainment Weekly.

Why, you’re asking is such a zealous Nickelback fan writing to the very publication that refuses to acknowledge the existence of the band? You, sirs/ladies, have now answered your own question. Entertainment Weekly totally ignores one of the greatest rock bands in the world – Nickelback. Unless you count the 112 references made to the band by the magazine, mostly to report that according to Billboard that their current album is on the charts. Otherwise, one or more of your reporters has used the name Nickelback like the “F” word at a cotillion. I can just see their noses wrinkle in disgust or their eyes twinkling gleefully when they can equate the band with excrement.

For All The Right Reasons – Nickelback’s current CD has been on the charts for 71 weeks now, usually in the top 20, having sold over 6 million units. Since I’m not as educated about these things as your writers are, I think this is pretty damn good. Even though the band was snubbed by the A.D.D. afflicted Grammy committee, they did win a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Rock Band. I could go on for many pages about their being in the top grossing concerts for 2006, winning 3 American Music Awards, nominated for Juno’s, etc. But I feel that if I’m not concise, I’ll loose what minimal interest you may have.

I mentioned my ire at Entertainment Weekly on the message board of the aforementioned Fan Club and don’t you know that quite a few of the members were equally upset not only with EW but with ALL the popular entertainment “news” publications that haven’t had the decency to do a FULL ARTICLE ON NICKELBACK! I didn’t buy all those CD’s myself. No, sir. NICKELBACK HAS OTHER FANS! Fans that are not afraid to say they are fans. Fans that like me actually will wear a Nickelback shirt out in public. Fans that have no fear to blast Nickelback music in their cars and sing along. Fans that will proudly show you iPods full of Nickelback music. Fans that just love Nickelback and want to see them in living color pictured in a mass-market magazine interviewed by a intelligent, insightful reporter.

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking insingin a bar of "Someday" and walking out. They may think it's anorganization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I saidfifty people a day walking in singin a bar of "Someday" andwalking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

I didn't know half that stuff about you Nite. I still have that magazine with you though I show everyone : ) So proud LOL I don't have seven interesting things about me. Why did yout tag me? LOL OK here you go: I eat, I sleep, I wake up, I bathe, I let dogs out, and let dogs in. Walla there's mine : )

Wow you amaze me .. I'm honoured to know you and with 40+ kitties,,totally awesome. O I adore cats and have several buried in my front garden, living on a country road isn't wise for cats, they have no road sense!

indigo ~ We lived in our old home 22 years. There were so many animals buried in that yard that if the new owners ever started to dig gardens or add an addition, they'd think we were in to Sanitaria. I almost killed Mulder and buried him in the yard when he threw a deceased newborn kitten in a dumpster!

eve & Spiky ~ I don't have a book or anything. In my HS creative writing course the whole class submitted poems to be published. I was one of 5 that got their's published. That is my total professional writing career! LOL

pixie ~ I can never understand George Clooney's attraction. But to each his or her own. I'd be on Gerard Butler, Wentworth Miller or Josh Holloway, like white on rice.

vi ~ I just needed confirmation on that. Thanks, Vi!

My father died when I was 7. My sister, BIL and nephew moved in with my mother and I. My BIL is an alcoholic so I grew up with two "mothers." If you think one is bad, just try two.

About me

This is a blog by a woman in her 50's who is finally on the crooked path to find who she truly is.
Married at 19 and divorced at 53. I am going to unearth the artist, the cynic, the free spirit that has been long buried. Or die trying.
I've left Bethlehem
and I feel free...
I've left the girl I was supposed to be
and some day I'll be born.
